About this event
One of 20 upcoming events at Irish Arts Minnesota, and 7,287 across the Twin Cities.
The show is much as in 2025, with Celtic, Balkan, and Fusion segments. It now features Twin Cities Scottish Scottish Dance Association dancers in the Celtic segment, Dance Group Bulgari in the Balkan segment, and in the Fusion segment, a folk orchestra, bagpiper, and Mila Vocal Ensemble performing tunes I composed for Highland pipes in a Balkan-informed style. Nikolai “Gaida Nick” Nikolov will reprise his virtuoso performance on the gaida (Bulgarian bagpipe), accompanied by percussionist Tim O’Keefe. Tickets: Pay-What-You-Choose Between $15 – $40 ($30 Suggested) Note: the 2025 shows sold out early, dismaying those who waited too long for tickets. For the 2026 show, 40% of tickets have already sold. To ensure your seat, get your tickets now!
